Y'know, when I first saw Pee Wee Herman make a living from acting odd
and developing strange characters, I thought " I should have done that -
I've been acting like an idiot for free for the majority of my life".
This, though, tempts me to send back both of my undergraduate and both
of my graduate degrees and declare myself aloof from education. I can
see getting paid for acting silly, but not getting a Ph.D for acting
especially silly. What next - an double doctorate for Tom Cruise's dorky
air guitar solo in "Risky Business" and license to practice Psychology
vis-a-vis his 'research' in the field?
